& I was wrong. The current adapter I am using is NOT a FTDI it is a silicon labs one. My old one that is Identical was a FTDI so I had assumed.

I managed to get it up & running using the siliconlabs driver & configuring the reg key.

however it seems that HOBdrive is a bit slow on showing the results. IE RPM of car will go up pretty fast & be around 6700 rPM but HOBDrive will be at like 6000 & take a few seconds to show the actual current vaules. speed is the same thing.

anyway to increase the rate at which hobdrive shows the values?

also with the "skins" aka backgrounds, do you have a template for them? id like to change it to a more formal looking set of "Gauges" & possibly switch from a digital read out to a needle/analog style gauge.

hobdrive reads sensor at maximum speed, but the fact is hobdrive have to read some sensors in background to calculate statistics - distance, fuel consumption etc. This slows down other sensors reading.

It partially depends on ELM adapter quality as well. Good models may give x2 time in reading performance.

For visual layout, you may read viewtopic.php?f=11&t=136Hobdrive unfortunately still does not support analog/needle style gauges. We are working on this.

I have chinese DVD/GPS module (WinCe6) in my MAZDA6 (2005). I trieyed to install demo version of HobDrive. After installation is completed the system can't find OBD-II adapter via bluetooth. On the screen i saw "OBD: Error: Can't connect socket tcp://192.168.1.10:35000". Have You any ideas?

remogijus, you have to read details on hobdrive installation into WinCE DVDs. Thats not trivial, builtin Bluetooth from your DVD will not work, you have to install separate BT-USB dongle for hobdrive to run.

hi,I own a alpine INE-W920R (that is a mutlimedia GPS device) i know how to boot on windows CE6 and see the windows explorer.This alpine device manages a BT connection for the phone. But this is done by the firmware and not by wince. (probably)I have also a USB connection but don't know if it is host for winCE.(probably not).have you heard of any successful experience installing hobdrive in this type of devices?

in the control pannel of win CE 6.0 i see a usb manager is that means i could find a usb connexion on the pcb? (i hesitate to disassemble the device to see ).In the meantime i bought an android samsung galaxy 7 " with bluetooth to be sure to make the hobdrive running.

In general you have to attach USB drive to your USB slot - for the "good" USB, it should appear in _windowsCE_ explorer. Otherwize you'll have to openup and solder USB on to the main board - thats quite a geek solution, but it works for many of GPS boards.

Unfortunately there is on easy answer. The generic - you have to reach wince desktop/explorer, use your PC to unpack hobdrive onto a flash drive/sd card, and then user wince desktop to directly run hobdrive executable file hobd.exe (or hobdrive.exe)

Also I have a 2001 infiniti g20 (Nissan primera in other parts of the world)

I am currently running the beta & absolutely love it!!! However it seems that some things are still listed in non US units (fueling is price per liter which makes it difficult to figure out, since we pay per gallon) Also I have to use Nissan Custom & Nissan Custom, else the obd2 connects, then disconnects a few moments later...& continues to do this. With the Nissan Customs set it stays connected, however some (a lot ) of sensors seem to not read (& I know that when running the same cable on my laptop with more advanced software I get readings from those snesors..

I wonder if the codes being sent from HOBD to the car are not proper ones?

also the odometer setup seems to be a bit of a pain...I keep trying to set what the current miles are, but it then throws up a window saying its going to correct them or something along those lines... I would love to buy the full version but cannot justify it yet, since these issues.

We are working on US localization in all dialogs, hope future versions will improve in this area.Its strange you don't see much sensors. What other laptop software do you use to capture sensors? Could you tell us the sensors you don't receive information from?

Regarding odometer - you have to setup it once, after that hobdrive will track odometer updates (and you'll correct them periodically during fillups).

everytime I try to set the odometer when filling up, hobdrive says something about a auto correction or something & then drops my fuel gauge (in hobdrive) down to like -2000% lol....

so I go back in & 0 it out/reset it..

Also cannot seem to get a lock on GPS, I run port splitter to split my GPS port from 7 to 5 & 6, my navi program used port 5 & 6 is free, pointing hobd to 6 it tries to connect then throws a error. I can load up a secondary navi app & connect to port 6 fine, not sure whats up with that.

in regards to the sensors, the only ones that show are MAf, RPM, speed, intake temp, & coolant temp (I think that's it, ill check tonight) but no other sensors show, & also the MPG looks off, it is constantly sitting at 28,3 mpg...which I know is wrong.

do you have beta testers? or need/want help wioth he US localization stuff?
